Joynt Andrews is a Christchurch law firm with roots going back to 1863, when its founder, Thomas Ingram Joynt, set up his own practice. The firm now works from Level 1, 485 Papanui Road, in Papanui, after returning to the area from a Victorian villa at 368 Papanui Road. Its work covers property, commercial and estate planning, litigation support for family law disputes, employment advocacy and advice for employers and employees, ACC claims and estate claims. Access is by lift to the first floor from the rear car park, which is reached from Bellevue Avenue, and the firm says it has good public transport links.
Customers are mixed. One says the firm's employment team, Philippa and Melissa, were thorough and helpful, and that a recommendation to use them was a good one. Another says the team were great to work with. A third, on a separation case, says communication was poor and they had to follow up many times to get answers, which they felt reflected how the firm was organised. Nearby, Joynt Andrews is one of four other lawyer listings within a kilometre.
